Media release - CLNZ Educational Publishing Awards
1 October 2012
Vibrant learning resources
contest six categories in Copyright Licensing New Zealand’s 2012 Educational
Publishing Awards. The number and qualities of the book and other visual or
online learning aids reflect this country’s success in producing learning programmes
for local and international markets.
Two new categories expand
CLNZ’s Educational Publishing Awards this year: Best Book or Series in Te Reo Māori and Best Educational Resource or Programme for
Export.
Judges for the awards are
Angela Fitchett, Curriculum Manager at Nelson College; Hone Apanui, a respected
educator Māori
Dr Rebecca Jesson, Research Fellow, School of Curriculum and Pedagogy, Education Faculty,
University of Auckland.
impressed by the
range of books submitted across categories, showing a strong focus on New
Zealand content. However, they believed some imbalance was evident with
particular genres unrepresented, most notably the lack of texts from literature
and the arts.
Praise was given to the
offerings in Te Reo Māori, and the judges commented that “the strength in
range, depth and quality paralleled entries in English.”
Entries in the digital
categories were “largely books published in digital format rather than truly
interactive and innovative.” The judges felt that the advantages that can be
given by use of digital modes were largely unrealised, and chose not to announce
a shortlist for this category this year. There will, however, be one standout
digital winner announced on the night.
The CLNZ Educational Publishing
Awards will be presented on Thursday 15 November at the Gus Fisher Gallery in
Auckland.
